It was credited to all four members of the band, having been recorded at A&R Studios, New York, during the band's second concert tour of North America, and was engineered by Eddie Kramer. "Heartbreaker" opens Side II of the album, and is famous for its memorable guitar riff by Jimmy Page, along with its unaccompanied solo, which he improvised on the spot. It was voted as the 16th-greatest guitar solo of all time by ''Guitar World'' magazine. "Heartbreaker" was ranked No. 328 in 2004 by Rolling Stone magazine, in their 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. ==Structure== The song begins on beat 4, bending the minor 7th (G) up to the root (A), kicking off an aggressive riff constructed around the blues scale, followed by a powerful power chord assault during the verse from not only the guitar but the bass playing power chords also. Robert Plant sings about a woman named Annie, who is up to her old tricks again; the lyrics recall a tale of a man painfully wizened after their encounters. Following a straight 8ths "rave up" by the band, Page's solo fires off a rapid-fire chain of sextuplet hammer-ons and pull-offs, accented by the guitarist bending the G String behind the guitar's nut. Page plays a few bluesy licks before launching into a "wall of notes" motif in A, finally, bringing it to an end with a blues cliché "goodbye chord." The rest of the band joins Page for another improvisation as an interlude into the final verse. In an interview Page gave to ''Guitar World'' magazine in 1998, Page stated that: Page also disclosed to ''Guitar World'' that this song in general, and the unaccompanied solo in particular, was the first recorded instance of his famous Gibson Les Paul/Marshall Stack combination. When "Heartbreaker" is played on radio stations, it almost always segues into the next song on the album, "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)", thanks to the similarities of subjects involved between the two songs, and the fact that "Living Loving Maid" segues directly from "Heartbreaker". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heartbreaker (Led Zeppelin song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
